I have a camera, dialer/phone, email apps...

Honestly idk if its because of gapps or not.

How about this : flash gapps and see what it fixes.

If nothing gets fixed the you probably have a bad download.

Aside from the jerkness which he was right btw

Check 2nd page has the vvm bug. And also please search it really has been noted and answered a million times (at least it seems). Just because the devs don't update the OP doesn't mean its correct anymore.

That is the buglist for the RC-0 wimax build.

It really doesn't apply to nightly's now.

VVM is a touchwiz feature end of discussion. Some people get lucky and have it work some don't.

Phone ringing is a known issue Let the devs find a solution.... (if you searched you'd relize this).

If the devs updated the OP after every little bug was found and/or fixed it'd be updated every night (if CM site gets back up and running)

Your expecting the devs to go over and beyond on something they are doing with out payment from most peoples. Consider yourself a lucky person to understand how to even flash a custom rom.

You shouldn't have to install a camera and phone app.

The voicemail apk is floating around here somewhere.

However, long story short, yes, this is very different. It's stock android, and some polishes. Nothing to do with sprint/samsung is included. (which is 90% of the point to many of us.) If you don't like it you can always revert back to a TouchWiz based rom. It's not for everyone.

It's also far from bug free, and under heavy development.

Edit: And you NEED to flash gapps. It's only a secondary flash for legal reasons. So flash that, and then see what's up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
I appreciate your response... I am not "demanding" solutions for this.. the only point of my post was, what I observed and may be to help others to educate them that these are known issues and you should be aware of them before flashing this. I obvsly read a cpl of pages before I flashed and read some more pages after I flashed and saw the issues... to find a solution, thats how I stumbled upon the sprint voicemail apk attachment and google voicemail solution. And yes, phone ringing is something I found too..

I found a lot of posts on the voicemail thing, but the merge contacts was hardly mentioned.. may be I am doing it wrong.. but if i have 2 contacts with same last and first name I was not able to merge them .. i have most of my favorites in this way unfortunately and everytime i used to manually merge them but now I cant.. as i said i m not complaining but just to make ppl aware of the issues...

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I completly agree with you and i did flash gapps .. the voicemail apk found in this thread didnt work for me .. so no visual voicemail for me unless i go google voice which i dont want to :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Maybe touchwiz is fake merging them. Try going to gmail.com and actually merging them there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
possible.. thats going to be a pain but i guess thats one time.. i ll give that a shot right now for eg i have 2 contacts one with phone number and one with email :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
In the OP it states that this is not a TouchWiz rom. All of those stock apps mentioned are touchwiz apps. This is an AOSP based rom meaning stock android apps are what you get. Not the touchwiz apps from the phone originally.

There have been many posts covering the VVM app. You have other options as well. Google voice is one of the. IMO much better than the sprint app.

Should have read the OP

Actually it is not a touchwiz feature. The same VVM app has been used across all sprint android devices. It is not included with CM due to it not being an open source application. If it was it would break compliance.

Try this... I had a hard time finding the merging option because it's different than on TW but it's there.

Open a contact on your phone, tap menu then Edit Contact. When in the edit screen, tap menu and you should see Separate and Join options, ???, profit.

You should have camera, etc. apps but they will be different from the stock ones as this not a TW ROM, as it has been mentioned already.

Hope this helps.

Google Listen app

I've been running Nightly 15 for a couple of days now. I have a couple of issues I found:

Is there a way to get the phone to ring even if I have stereo Bluetooth headphones linked up? The Samsung ROM routed ringer audio to the loudspeaker when a call came in. If I take off my headphones and I call comes it, I won't notice it unless I'm close enough to hear the vibration.

Second issue is that Google Listen plays little snippets of audio when the phone is not plugged in to a power source AND the screen is off. If the screen is on, the audio streams just fine. Could this be some sort of power management issue? The issue seems to be only with Listen. Google Music and the built-in music apps seems to run fine only on battery. This happens with the default kernel and the Samurai kernel. I also updated to Nightly 16 and Samurai, but the problem still exists.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Are you running a custom kernel with voodoo sound? If so, try with the stock kernel.

google voice

For everyboy using google voice instead of vvm I got a couple a questions:

First off I installed gv today and got it all set up and everything but I noticed that in the running apps section of maage applications it said it was using 27mb of background data. Isn't that an absurd amount that will devour my battery?

Also, do I need to have gv installed on my phone to get voicemails?

And, will I still get annoying 9016 messages?

[Epic 4G Android Development] paullueders223:
I've got Google voice integration and Google voice installed and it works well for me, the app doesn't really give me much problems and I don't see a decrease in my battery life with it. You don't need it installed to get voicemails, it acts like the visual voicemail app for regular voicemail. You can get notifications via text if you want. And no you will not get 9016 tests

I tried google voice and still got text and email notifications for every voicemail. Is this something that can be turned off somewhere? Cause I couldn't find an option within the app. Also same question as the one before me about it taking over making/receiving calls.

[Epic 4G Android Development] paullueders223:

I got nightly 16 flashed. Interesting note on the "volume fixed during call"

With the phone to my ear (screen off) I can:

- lower the volume

- raise the volume

- lower the volume

...but after those 3 volume changes the volume is stuck until I take the phone away from my ear and the screen comes back on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
Yes.

I have Google Voice set to handle my voicemail only. Even when I do not have my Sprint number as a Google Voice number, I have another Google Voice number.

You just have to be careful when you do the initial setup of the app and you only skip the part where it asks you to merge your number with Google Voice. You want to tap Skip there.

Then you you have to configure where it asks you if you want Google Voice to handle your voicemail.

Make sure you read every screen carefully when firing up the Google Voice app for the first time.

After all that is set and done, you can go to settings and set it to never use Google Voice to make phone calls.

I used to LOVE gosms... and very much miss it to this day. But I gave up on it after it had (on many occasions) sent my text messages to the wrong people. This happened in many versions of it... so it is not something they are fixing. It will likely happen to you to if you delete some threads but then leave others. It seems that when this happens, the indexing position of recipients change and thus your texts wind up in strange places. I have gotten MANY "?" responses where it turns out my text went to the wrong person. BEWARE.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
This would be no different from your mechanic declaring that you should always get 200 miles per tank of gas (regardless of driving habits, traffic or even the size of the tank). In other words, there isn't a set percentage because there are too many variables that will change, even with the same user on different days.

The only determination that can be made, with any amount of accuracy, is that deep sleep percentage will always vary - in the range of 0 - 100% ;)

I get that... but on a light day it should be sleeping more then 50% of the time. Without knowing his usage the stats mean nothing.

Call Waiting, Loud Ringing Problem

So I was attempting to nail this bug down into reproducible steps for the devs but I'm not having any luck. I notice that ignoring a call on call waiting doesn't seem to work; it continues to beep and the caller is not sent to voice mail until the call is routed there by the carrier. The beep was not loud, it was the normal volume, and it ended as soon as i answered the call or ignored the call and it eventually was sent to voice mail.

I tried with the handset and headset but not bluetooth or speaker. Also, I'm using Google Voice integration, that may be relevant.

If you encounter this problem, please try to reproduce it and tell us how to reproduce it. Tell us which build you're using, if you're using handset, headset, speaker or bluetooth, and if you are using Google Voice integration or not. Include any other factors that seem relevant. If it can be reproduced and the problem is well defined, then perhaps someone can capture log data and we can actually help the devs identify the cause.

Thank you.

You're forgetting that, odds are, he has a completely different setup than you (unless the two of you got together and coordinated so that you both installed only the same apps, and then proceeded to sync both of your phones to the same accounts, etc)

He may have more email accounts synced - just one more would be enough to increase the frequency of his phone partially waking to sync. There are far too many variables for anyone to guess at a percentage, as you're attempting to do.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to make sure your misunderstanding doesn't lead him to a false conclusion that would have him chasing phantom problems that may not actually exist. You might actually be right, but without a lot more information, no one would know it for certain (even if they think they do, they're wrong, until more of his specifics are known)
